The fifth volume in the Voice of Witness series presents the
narratives of Zimbabweans whose lives have been affected by the
country's political, economic, and human rights crises. This book
asks the question: How did a country with so much promise-a stellar
education system, a growing middle class of professionals, a
sophisticated economic infrastructure, a liberal constitution, and
an independent judiciary-go so wrong? In their own words, they
recount their experiences of losing their homes, land, livelihoods,
and families as a direct result of political violence. They
describe being tortured in detention, firebombed at home, or beaten
up or raped to "punish" votes for the opposition. Those living
abroad in exile or forced to flee to neighboring countries recount
their escapes, of cutting through fences, swimming across
crocodile-infested rivers, and entrusting themselves to human
smugglers. This book includes Zimbabweans of every age, class and
political conviction, from farm laborers to academics, from artists
and opposition leaders to ordinary Zimbabweans: men and women
simply trying to survive as a once thriving nation heads for
collapse.
